GloveTacts How To Install
GloveTacts are easy to install and use. All that is needed is to apply them to your gloves wherever you wish to have touch. The following tips should help answer any questions you have about the installation. There is also a video available at the bottom of the page.
Installation Tips
- Gloves can be new or used, but they should be clean and dry
- Use care when handling the GloveTacts to avoid touching the adhesive more than is necessary
- The adhesive will permanently set after its been pressed on and allowed to cure
- Make sure you are happy with placement before applying pressure
- Depending on the glove material it may be possible to lift and reposition, but doing so may reduce the adhesive strength
- Once they are in place, apply firm pressure to transfer adhesive into the glove material
- Allow adhesive to set for 24 hours prior to glove use for best performance
- If edges of GloveTacts become unglued, use small scissors or a razor blade to carefully trim the loose edges only
Installation procedure
- Choose which size to use
- For insulated (winter style) gloves use the large contacts
- For non-insulated gloves use the small contacts
- If in doubt, or if the small ones provide inconsistent touch during use the large ones
- Determine where to attach the GloveTacts
- In order for them to work, they must make contact with the device screen
- Lift the contact from the base
- Avoid unnecessary touching of adhesive
- Attach contact to glove
- Gently position it on the glove
- If needed, lift off glove to reposition (depending on glove material this can result in reduced adhesive performance)
- Apply firm pressure transfer adhesive
- The adhesive needs to transfer into the glove material to provide maximum adhesion
- Let adhesive to cure for 24 hours before using glove
